Hey guys! i just came home from The New Paper First Film Festival:)

if you guys are following me on facebook, you should have seen the video done by my school to enter for the competition. If you haven't seen it, heres your chance:)

This video got me a ticket into this prestige event as one of the top ten finalist in this competition. Was really all excited about the event. I didn't get any info beforehand so i practically went for this event without a single knowledge about it. Since its a event showcasing the top 10, i was kinda expecting a really small gathering held at Shanghai Dolly.But WOW! The turnout was awesome and they had local celebrities hosting as well as prize presenters.

Although everything seems like it is in the perfect set, it turned out not as fun as i expected. It was almost close to 1.5hrs of wait before the event could start.Almost fell asleep on the chair with clubbing music as my lullaby-.-

It's also the first time our male lead Allen visit a club:) Obviously he did enjoy himself with the free flow of food and drinks! haha! btw, he films really good videos, some are hilarious:)so do youtube allen100xu when you guys are free:)

Okay, we were really bored during the wait and started to snaps photos with our almighty IPHONE!

Basically, the highlights of the event is to announce the top 3 films submitted to TNP. But my highlight was to see Nat Ho and Kumar:D Kumar is funny as usual, jokes are more or less the same but its just this special aura about him/her that creates a climax to the event. Okay, i do admit that i keep laughing at the part he mention about Pinos and Bangalas having a relationship. The fact that they don't understand each other is the main reason why they are together. They are just looking for companionship:)(i rephrase this sentence btw. you know what Kumar did say:)

Back to topic. I kinda feel that the results were unexpected. Because in my option, some of the winning films ain't good at all! I did seen some meaningful films which i thought would score. Results were quite disappointing because i think its kinda demoralizing for some really good directors when their hardwork lose to some substandard films. I don't know the criterias for the award, but as a consumer, the winning films really didn't capture my heart. Perhaps its just preference:)

2nd Runner Up

1st Runner Up

Tabula Rasa

Personally, i really like this film because the actors are really natural. although i cant figure out what are they trying to say, its still good movie with good editting skills:)

First in Place

Jan

Before you watch this video, i would like to remind you to keep your hands under your jaws to prevent it from falling. Because having such a "film" as first in place is kinda an insult to really good film makers. I am not really against this kid, honestly, i think the kid make a good actor for his age.But to say that this "film" is good...erm.. maybe still alittle far away-.-

Some comments that i saw on youtube.

So i guess... its not just me who feel this way????i mean even if the judges wanted to encourage the kid, they can come out with a special award right.definitely not a first place-.- btw he won best actor too..So are they trying to groom a big headed director in future?

SO HERE COMES THE VIDEO

what do you think???

anyway. i kinda like this video. take a look:)

i just think this video is sincere:)
